headstock lead for zumo 220?

seadog · Feb 21, 2011

i need to pick the experts brains!

i would like to use a zumo 220 on my 54 1200gs, now the 220 is a rechargeable battery type, will it be possible to charge the unit whilst in use?

if possible to do this i would like to use the headstock outlet for this if someone can let me know which male plug type is needed.

or would it be easier to just run a cable from the power outlet left side of seat?

all input appreciated, even if its to call me stooopid

cheers

Hi Stooopid

I've got an F800GS, so not totally sure on your bike. But, from memory, you have 2 options. 1; use the Canbus plug which is down under the headstock. Just needs a connector from your local BMW dealer, and follow the 'wiring GPS' thread elsewhere on here, this turns off a couple of minutes after turning the ignition off. Or 2; plug it into your 12v socket (also turns off a couple of minutes after turning off ignition).
